Dr. Moiya McTier & Dr. Emily Zarka bring their unmatched expertise in Mythology & Folklore to this new PBS Digital series, FATE & FABLED. The show digs into the stories and characters of mythologies, both ancient and modern, from all around the world - exploring the origins of these tales and their lasting influence.
In this episode, we examine the Fates - three shadowy figures who seem to have a near omnipresent influence in the goings-on throughout the Greek mythical universe - and who show up in stories and religions from cultures whose time and place are far removed from the ancient Greeks. Join us!

@julianj9830 2 года назад

Well Greek mythology is very well documented due to the fact they played a major role in historical influence. Same for Roman, Egyptian, and Middle Eastern. Mythology from the Vikings, Native America, and Southern African is poorly understood due to the label they were given at that time “Heathens/savages”. They rarely documented their beliefs and were commonly forced to convert. Not to say they didn’t play significant roles in history, but due to their beliefs they were often hated by larger civilizations. That’s why mythologies outside of Roman, Egyptian, and Greek isn’t discussed as much. Although, I am interested in learning what smaller civilizations believed in. Many aspects of which occasionally correlates with the beliefs in larger civilizations.

@@Ghostlyking-tc3vu Well to be honest the Yoruba religion is still going strong, especially in Latin American countries, as denominations of Santeria, Candomble, & Lukumi etc. It’s a global religion. And with all due respect as an African-American, you should give your people more credit, there’s nothing wrong with tribal societies. But your peoples of the Yoruba (which make up the ancestry of so many peoples of the African-ChattelEnslaved-Diaspora, in the Americas. Like the Akan) are not a “tribe”. Your people are city-state & empire builders. Calling the Yoruba, Akan or Nubians, a “tribe”, would be like calling the Chinese, Egyptians, or French a tribe. I especially love Yoruba swords like the Ada & Ida, & Yoruba architecture like the Oba & Ooni palaces. Cheers brotha!

I loved it! So thrilled about this new show. I have a request: aztec (mexihca) mythology, more specifically the god with the most badass name of all, Tezcatlipoca (the Smoking Mirror), he who sees it all, lord of the night sky, magic, divination and a bunch of other attributes. Of course Quetzalcoatl, Huitzolopochtli and others can be interesting as well, but they're more the stereotypical macho heroes, whereas Tezcatlipoca is much more complex and intriguing.

@TheHornedKing 2 года назад

Never heard about the Fates being personally involved with Hades and Persephone like that. There really is alot of different variotions of that story. And funnily enough, the oldest versions of it are actually the happiest, with Persephone actually loving Hades and being queen of the underworld, while later ones have Persephone being unhappy about it all. It's even weirder when we consider her pre-greek origin that already establish her as an underworld goddess, while Hades seemingly appears out of nowhere as greek mythology as we know it came to be, meaning Persephone has a much longer history as an underwold deity than Hades does. Edit: Here is a good video by Overly Sarcastic Productions for those who are interested. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ac5ksZTvZN8.html

@lior1299 2 года назад

Can you provide sources? I can't find any old versions that say she was happy. Homer says "[Demeter's] trim-ankled daughter whom Aidoneus [Haides] rapt away, given to him by all-seeing Zeus the loud-thunderer." and Hesiod says "He [Zeus] came to the bed of all-nourishing Demeter, and she bare white-armed Persephone whom Aidoneus [Haides] carried off from her mother; but wise Zeus gave her to him." And they are as old as you'll get

@generalgrievous6689 2 года назад

@@lior1299 The actual kidnapping and her happiness is kind of unrelated. If we look at it with historical context, women had practically no rights and the poses to symbolise kidnapping and marriage on Greek art were the same. So we can deduce that this wasn't too unusual, especially for the gods. Plus Homer's poem outlined Zeus as the antagonist so I don't think the intention was to frame the relationship as necessarily bad, though different retellings and sources differ. I think OSP made a decent video about this, I definitely recommend it, even if it's a little liberal on interpretation.

@lior1299 2 года назад

@@generalgrievous6689 I don't know.. I'm not convinced. That isn't anything to say she was happy as much as she was unhappy. Saying it was the norm, doesn't say she was happy. Zeus wasn't considered an antagonist, he just did what fathers did at the time and married his daughter off. But I, the ancient Greeks, and even you probably should admit that abduction is a no no, right? (and its all symbolic) Also, tricking your love interest into staying around by eating a pomegranate wouldn't be necessary if this was okay by her. You can say that it may have started on the wrong foot, but it got better... But still, what ancient, 'older' sources speak to this? You can even point out that she has sway over Hades in stories such as Herakles' 12th task, or Orpheus' plea for his wife, but these are later stories (Diodorus Siculus and the like, 1st Century BC) and in that case I can bring her infatuation with Adonis, which would be considered infidelity (for women).

@generalgrievous6689 2 года назад

@@lior1299 Idk. If we just take a look at the Canon as a whole, as you said, it would seem that even if the start wasn't great, the end result wasn't that bad. She has sway with him (and shares power which would have been uncommon for women) in some stories and at the very least they seem functional (compared to the other gods). The story was used to explain the seasonal cycle, so it would make sense these characters would play a role in this. Spring is sealed away and winter would cause death back then so it makes sense the god of the underworld was involved. It's also uncommon to hear myths/stories about the underworld, so it makes sense that we hear very little about their relationship. I guess it's up to personal interpretation becuase the original script was torn and the physical art representing it was limited. Earlier sources were from cults and they were very secretive, so it's impossible to trace these myths back any further then we already have.

9:18 The Korean Jeju goddess(more like just a spirit) is actually pronounced: Ga-mun-jang-agi (The Gamunjang part means "clay pot" and the last Agi part means baby). As the spirit of fortune she blessed her own house with riches and when her unknowing parents asked their children "Why do you think we are so blessed?", her two humble sisters(named silver pot and bronze pot) answered "It's because we have great parents" but "Claypot" answered "Its cuz of me!" Infuriated by her impudence, the parents ran her out of the house but then sent her sisters to bring her back. However, "Claypot" was so angry that she turned her sisters into rare mushrooms and caused her parents to slip and become blinded and eventually poor. She later repents her actions after meeting a kind man that gave the best parts of any food to his parents and older brothers only taking the barely edible crumbs for himself. She rewards the kind man with gold and marries him but learns that she cannot undo her own angery actions. She holds a feast for all the towns people providing food and drinks to the poor where she meets a old couple dressed in rags. She cries when realizing that these are her parents and a miracle happens undoing the harm she had done to her family. source: namu.wiki/w/%EA%B0%90%EC%9D%80%EC%9E%A5%EC%95%84%EA%B8%B0

I would love to see a deep dive of weaving in mythology. The fates are just one example. Because cloth, weaving, and braiding are fundamental to most human cultures. It's where a lot of us began.

Great video, I am love learning about all mythology and fables, but I would love more stories about non-European folklore and mythology. I'm most interested in stories from the Americas and Carribean.

I agree. The stories of our native peoples are sorely overlooked. It would be good to record them to ensure they are not lost. It would be best to ensure the people are not lost.

Can we take a moment to appreciate Dr. Emily adoringly referred as "Dr. Z"? I am in full support of future episodes referring these ladies as Dr. Z and Dr. M. And yes, there is an *urgent need* to explain why cats are our eternal lords and masters.

I would love to hear about the indo-European obsessions with bulls. Such an interesting link between all those different cultures. I wonder if there is a myth that they all share?

@dorkatarmsetcetera9468 2 года назад

im interested in the proto-indo european archetype that even presents variants in Africa: the dichotomy between dragon-like creatures and thunder/storm deities. thor vs jormundgandr, zues vs typhon, etc. the african variant presents the thunder god in the epic of mwindo as blood brother to a dragon instead of foe. what does this relationship represent? what could the variations tell us about a culture's perceptions of nature/monsters?

@dorkatarmsetcetera9468 2 года назад

@Kleine Vuurvlinder im not entirely sure to what you are referring, but i think Shiva's third eye and Zeus "birthing" Dionysus after incinerating his mortal mother might be what comes to mind. also thank you!

Firstly - thank you for an amazing first episode! I've been in love with mythology for nearly 30yrs and I keep discovering more and more! Trouble is - I can only read so much at one time! Heheh! One topic I'd love to hear more about was one a friend recommended I get round to, the legend of Amaterasu the Japanese sun goddess! Can't wait to see your next upload! Thank you again! :)

I find the fates so amazing. Even if we Greeks have stopped practicing most of our polytheistic heritage many of us have a strong belief in fate and have many sayings on it. We still use the word Moira (μοίρα) to express our fate and the word moirazo(μοιράζω) witch means to share. Because even if thousands of years and religions have passed our history is still well and alive in our language and of course... Our fate 🌻

I would love to hear about ywo different things actually..... First, I'd love a closer look at Mesopotamian mythology. Second, if possible I'd like to hear more information about the Vily/Wily/Samodiva/Rusalka from South Slavic myth if possible please-- I'm actually trying to write a bit about this latter but have limited information so far. Thank you!

Would love to see a deep dive on The Three Graces of Greek/Roman Myth and/or an overview about the various Gods of Joy and Happiness from around the world. Either way, loved the episode and can't wait for more.
